Self reliance is a clever synonym for poverty, lol. I say do what you do best, and let the other guy handle what he does best. You'll both be better off for it.
I can appreciate that poverty call. It's why I bought used vehicles and fixed them myself. I think that if I hadn't, I would have never been able to buy a house- at least in California. Now that we're wealthy we have two newer vehicles ('16 and '15 Kias). We take them to the dealer for the service. It's about the same as if I did it, the warranty is kept up and I don't have to dispose of the waste. I still maintain my '70 Chevy truck and '05 Corolla, neither one of which requires all that much service or repair. I'll rebuild the truck engine one of these years. It has almost 230k miles on it and was rebuilt once about 100k miles back. I also do all my home repairs and maintenance, though I will be hiring a trusted roofing contractor. I'm 67 and my days of dragging shingles up on the roof are gone.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
